Teardown, the voxel-based destruction game by Tuxedo Labs is now close to ready. The game will be leaving Steam Early Access this month.
Teardown has you play as a struggling owner of a demolition company, where one making ends meet with a few simple destruction jobs leads you to do heists.
The voxel-based environments are all fully destructive. So you can smash a hole in wooden wall with a sledgehammer or blow a building up with some carefully placed explosives or ram through a closed gate in a car or tear up a hole in the second floor of a building with a crane.
The single-player has a twist in that it’s also a puzzler. You will require to plan your move, and surgically make adjustments to the sandbox to ensure you get to steal the items you need, be it some valuables or some fancy boxy cars, within various constraints like a time limit or avoiding an alarm from triggering.
Teardown also allows you to play these maps as proper sandboxes, where you are free to tear up, or tear down, the environment in any way you please. It should tickle that Red Faction itch of seeing buildings tumbling down. Or have them explode into voxel pieces.
Expect a campaign of 40 missions, and access to 17 different tools. The game also already has Steam Workshop support for mods.
The version 1.0 release of Teardown will be on April 21.
